  Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the way tire buying show would be. So I'm in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: an editorial decision. I was like, well, there's a couple
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of games. Normally the protocol if you listen to the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: show on a semi regular basis, we normally begin with
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: whatever game happened.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Last, because that's the freshest.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: But in this particular night, this night different than all these,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And I said, a couple of other stories that were
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: somewhat interesting, intriguing that are worthy of some talk. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the draft lottery. There's some funny business
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: with that as the Dallas Mavericks one and they will
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: have the number one pick in the draft. Have some
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: thoughts on that I will share with you later if
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you're with us for the Yeah, they got that to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: top pick. But the story here is not there's much
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to talk about. To begin with Golden State not showing
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up in the third quarter and losing. They were supposed
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to lose without Steph Curry. They lost without Steph Curry.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We will get to that, as Minnesota's now on the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: brink of advancing to the Final four of the NBA again.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour from mid ten, Manhattan, game
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: number four, Eastern Conference Semi Finals.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: The Green team looking to even things up.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: They'd those blown leads in games one and two, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they made every three point shot, so it seemed at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: least half of them in the game over the weekend,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so they could even things up with the Knickerbockers on.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: A Monday night. Were you engaged? You were not? You
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: have a life? Okay? Good?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So Jalen Brunson went bonkers in the SEC and that,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: but overall he had thirty nine points twelve assists, a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: partris in the pear tree and yet again the New
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: York basketball team rallying back and they now move on
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the brink of an advancement to the Final four in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the East, as they are a ween away from the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: first Eastern Conference final appearance.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: In twenty five years.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That's a generation of suck for the Knickerbockers, but they
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: are on the brink of doing that. As the reigning
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: champions of the NBA, the Boston Celtics. They are staring
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: down the barrel of an elimination situation.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: They lose by eight. On Monday night, the Knicks were down.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Fourteen in the third quarter, yet another blown lead by
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the Boston basketball team.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: And so what is the setup?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Game five is on Wednesday back in the Commonwealth.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And the setup is there.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Have only been thirteen teams that have come back from
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a three to one deficit. That's it, thirteen teams from
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a three to one deficit. And so Boston, if they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: want to do this, they have to be the fourth,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: fourteenth team. Fourteenth team. My malor math tells me to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: come back, and they're gonna have to do it. We
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: are ninety nine point nine percent sure without Jason Tatum,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: who had to be carried off the court then used
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair. But unlike Paul Pierce who pooped his pants,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum did not poop his pants.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: He had a right leg.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Injury with two point fifty eight to go in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: basketball game. As he was withering in pain on the court,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: hopped off the court. And if you have watched sports
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: at all for any amount of time, chances are you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: were going to come up with the same diagnosis that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: everyone's come up with. Now, there's no official confirmation that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I've seen, and if you've seen it, that's fine. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: haven't seen anything. I was looking around. I hadn't seen
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: any official confirmation. I'm not a doctor, but I did
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: stay at a holiday and express years ago, and so
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I will give you my radio diagnosis here in a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: minute that ninety nine point nine percent sure Pop goes
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the Achilles. Unfortunately, MRI is scheduled for later on on Tuesday.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question if these reports are true,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: If true and Jason Tatum is out for the series
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and for the long run, does this officially end Boston's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: title defense? Is this it they cooked at this point?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So I've got Buckingham Palace, Owen Wilson, and Tabernacle, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: are going to have a pity party, which the Celtics
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: can all show up to. They can have a nice
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: little pity party. So a to answer the question, if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Tatum did suffer the injury that everyone's pretty sure he suffered,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: although not one hundred percent. If that's the case at
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: this hour, does it end Boston's title hopes. And to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that I will say, is the new Pope a White
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Sox fan?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I think yeah. So that's a rhetorical question. Obviously, it's game,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: set and match. If this was Monopoly, Jalen Brunson and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers would pass, go, collect two hundred dollars and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a fast pass to the Eastern Conference Finals. You can
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: even crank up if you are the classic from Willie
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and Nelson who just had a birthday, turn out the lots,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the parties over, oh yeah, and then some and so
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the Celtics in this era of one win champions, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: then you fade into oblivion. It would appear that that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is the track, that is the dimension that we are in.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: In a different dimension, Jason Tatum finishes the game, doesn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: get hurt, and the Celtics come back, although they were
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: down nine at that point, come back and win the game.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But in the dimension that we're in, Tatum suffers the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Achilles injury and just a one win title team and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown and the Celtics can get together. They can
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have a team get together at a nice boutique in on
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard, a cozy bed and breakfast, because it appears
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the Celtics are dining on one thing, and one thing only,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a Kellogg's product. That would be Rice Crispy, Snap, Crackle
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and Pop for the Boston Celtic. There the Celtics in
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the process you talk about a change here, the Celtics
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in a process of an ownership change.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: With Jason Tatum.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Likely out most if not all, of next season, so
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he's gone next season. Think of this like, if you will,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the Celtics all of a sudden decided we're going to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: visit Buckingham Palace and we're going to witness the changing
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of the guard because that's what's going on in the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. It opens things up obviously this year, it
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: opens things up, and I mean we're looking barring some
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: kind of really awkward situation here Indiana and New York
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference final. So one of those two
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: teams guaranteed to go to the finals. My Malard math
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: tells me that, So expect to see seven thousand different
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: shots of Reggie Miller and the old Pacer Knicks matchups back,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you know, a million years ago when they actually used
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to play each other in the playoffs. On a on
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a s my regular basis, and it also opens things
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: up down the line. You look at the off season
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: wheeling and dealing, and if the Celtics are cooked because
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the owner, the new ownership is going to force some
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: contracts to leave and Tatum will be out, all of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a sudden, the Celtics at at the very least, they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: going on to a middle of the pack Eastern Conference
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: team next season, and that opens things up for some
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of these other pretenders to go out. And you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: pat Riley goes out and get Giannis in Miami and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Heat.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Are back near the top.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: All right, now, turning the page on that, what are
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the long term implications We went over some of them,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: but what are the other long term implications for Jason
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Tatum if he did shred his achilles like we put
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: into context for him and for everyone involved. So the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: first name that popped in my head when I was
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: watching this Joe Missoula. Joe Missoula, Yeah, that's the first
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: name the coach because this Ja scent Tatum injury where
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he goes down, snap crackle pop. For Joe Missoula, it
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is like an old Owen Wilson comedy from over a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: decade ago. Hall pass. This is a hall It wasn't
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a good movie, but it's a hall pass for Joe Missoula.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: He'll get immunity. Management will overlook his faux pause. In
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: coaching not coaching. There's not a lot in the NBA
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: compared to other sports. It's pretty low on the big
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: board of impact and whatnot. But there were a number
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of what are you doing moments in this Celtic Runner
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: reminds you a couple of years ago when we gave
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Joe Mozoula and the nickname.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Let him play Joe, sleepy Joe.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: You know, he's kind of sleeping on the sidelines and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he didn't morph backing too. Let him play Joe in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: this series, it's arcade basketball. It's the old school going
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to the arcade, playing Papa shot. You put a token in,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and you put.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Another one and another one, over and over and over
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: and over.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: There were no meaningful adjustments. It is an indictment of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the Celtic franchise. They blew two to twenty point leads.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a much different conversation if the Celtics
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: are up three nothing going into this game which they.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Had the lead.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It blew out the Knicks in the game over the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: weekend on Saturday, and then you look at what happened
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to the first two games in Boston. So there is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a world where the Celtics win the first three and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: then if Tatum still gets hurt, that's fine. You're still thinking, Okay,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: we still get to the Eastern Conference Finals. But in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: this particular game four outscored by twenty two points, they
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: went up fourteen in the third quarter, outscored by twenty
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: two points. To close the game, Jalen Brunson put on
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: an absolute clinic with twenty six points six assists to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: close the game, and even when Tatum left with two
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: point fifty eight to go, Boston was down by Now
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I guess we're having a postgame sound, but what are
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the chances that Jason Tatum makes a full recovery? So
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: even the outbulook is not great on that, And we're
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure it's in Achilles, but were
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent shirts an Achilles. If it
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is an Achilles, the chances are slim and none that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he makes a full recovery. There was just a study
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: done last year, thirty seven players had suffered the Achilles
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: injury going back decades in the NBA. Now, seventy eight
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: percent of them did return. That's the good news. Seventy
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: eight percent of them did return. However, most players struggled
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to get anywhere close to where they remember. How terrible
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant was at the end.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: That's one of the guys.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum copies and Kobe could not do anything at
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the end there when he was playing because he had
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the Achilles injury and he was a shell of what
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: he had been. He was also older, and the numbers
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: indicate and this tells you what has happened now what's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: going to happen that it's mostly the backups, that it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the reserve players that are able to come back and perform.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Thirty one percent of players who returned from an achilles
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: injury were out of the NBA within three years. Now, again,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of those were older players. It's normally something
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that happens to someone's older, not in the prime of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: their careers. So you have to factor that in. But yikes,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: double yikes, if you will, All right, now, last word here,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to address this because It's a pet
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: peeve of mine, and this is really my therapy. I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: don't pay for a therapist. I don't talk to anyone.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: This is I talk to you. You're the person that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: has to listen to me complain. I sit around. I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: very grateful to have a job where they want me
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to watch random games and then give my hot takes.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: What a great job.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But occasionally I want to pull the hair out of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: my head that is left on my head and watching
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, I want to preface this.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'd like to curse. I don't think
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I'm allowed to. But what impact let me let me
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: phrase it this way. What impact is celebrity row having
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: on your judgment, your opinion of the Knicks in Washington.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So these entertainment people, these entertainment elites that are given
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: these seats courtside so they can get on television, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the Knicks can make everyone think they're the coolest thing
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in town, and everyone wants to be at the nixt game,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: sitting court set and all.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: That major Ick factor, major Ick factor. And there they
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: were again.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Look there's Cardi b all my Benny Blanca, Oh my god,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Selena Gomez is there sting Chris Rock Ben Stiller.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: MSG.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: When it comes to the celebrity is the tabernacle of worship.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's celebrity worship is what it is. Excessive admiration and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to the level of obsession of the celebrity, putting them
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on a pedestal.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: And those aren't the real nick fans.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: See, that's the thing, Like, and I got this, I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: got fam from New York whatever, find they're there nick
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: fans sprinkled through my cousins and whatnot that are from
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that area. But watching Celebrity Row makes me want to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: puke in my mouth. Okay, I want to literally, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: want to vomit in my mouth watching the Celebrity Row.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I would like it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And and it's one thing to show them once how
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: many cutaway shots do we?
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Did somebody at ESPN say, okay, uh, this just keep
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: showing all of them continuous spotlight reaction? Like I really
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: need to see Spike Lee celebrating or Tracy Morgan or
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: any these other cats and like why And it's whether
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it's a celebrity or not that celebrities annoy me more.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But when I'm watching a college football game on a Saturday.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I don't need the reaction shot on that either, the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: frequent cutaways. And it's just like the early television producers
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and directories, this is what they did, and every one
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: just copies the early people in television. They do the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: same things. Well, this is how we did it back
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: in there, we had fan reaction shots. Listen, you cut away.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's excessive, it's unnecessary. It takes away from the broadcast.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And you keep cutting away to these reaction shots. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: does anyone need to see someone else reacting to something
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that we can't see Because we're seeing them react to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: what they're looking at, but we can't see it, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they're actually there.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: It's like, how dumb is this? Dumb? D dumb dumb dumb.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Seriously, and at very least, at least diversify your crowd
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: reaction shots. I get it, your star efforts. I understand.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You don't need to fixate on the celebrities.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: We know they're there. Okay, great, they got free tickets, wonderful.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Outstand many of them haven't done anything entertaining in years. Anyway,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: they're living off what they did thirty years ago or
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago.

• 17:32
  Speaker 4: as we are your late night bite just right coast

  Speaker 1: On the mast and unreasonably powerful microphones of fs are
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: emminating live from the dream, living the dream in the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: middle of the night while everyone else is actually dreaming
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Supported by Van the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: One Legged Bama Man, a show legend stories we've had
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: on this show. If you don't know who Van the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: One Legged Bama Man is, this guy lives in Alabama,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: thus the name has leg bitten off by an alligator.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: And then he and his relative went out, they got
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the gator, killed it and ate it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: The gator that ate him. He ate the gator.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: This portion of the show made possible by tire Iraq
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for over forty years. It's a long time ty I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: mobile tire installation ti i raq dot com the way
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: tire buying showed me. So our lead this hour is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: from the second half of the playoff card. Last hour,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: we ranted about snapcrackle pop for Jason Tatum as the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Celtics lose to the Knickerbockers.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: New York fans a very calm maack, like you've been.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: There before, and well they haven't actually acted like they've
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: been there before. And then you realize, like all those
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: nick fans that were going crazy outside Madison Square Garden
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and going nuts and all that, like anybody in their thirties,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Like if you're in your early thirties, last time the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Knicks were any good, you were like seven.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Like that's how bad. Think about that, Like the.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Knicks haven't been good in twenty five years, and they
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: haven't won a championship in like fifty years.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: So anyway, but our lead is not from that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: We go to San Francisco the late game on the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: pro Bouncy Ball card that was the playground for Game four,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of the Western Conference semi Finals, Minnesota with a chance
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to stop and do the monthstermage on Golden State and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: take a stranglehold on the series. No, Steph Curry again,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: he was there giving moral support. Didn't you watch?
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: No, you weren't all right?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Well, Anthony Edwards went kabboom in the second half and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: he ended up with thirty points, second straight thirty point performance.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: It was the third quarter that was a difference here.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Julius Randall who did a lot early in the game.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: He finished with thirty one points and but timm Wolves
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: audition and swishing and into the win column. They beat
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the Warriors, ended up winning by seven. They were up
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: by twenty in the second half. And don't look now
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: but a Minnesota sports team yet again, the t Wolves
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: on the brink of advancing to the final four in
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: their sport as they.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Are one win away now.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: From moving on to the Western Conference Finals and a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: chance to go to the NBA Finals. And he will
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: go back home to Minneapolis on Wednesday, and right there
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: downtown Target Center, right next to that Sid Hartman statue,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: right there outside that arena, they can clinch the best
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of seven Western Conference Semi Finals game five Wednesday night,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: be there, b Square. The Warriors will most likely be
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: without Steph Curry. Most likely will be without Steph Curry there.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: He sat out his third game in and he is
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: scheduled to have his hammy that went whammy be re
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: examined on Wednesday and is said to be a game
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: time decision. Okay, we reevaluated that day, Like every day
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you get up.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Technically, we're all being re evaluated when we wake up.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So am I awake? Okay, I'm being reevaluated. They're gonna
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: get out of bed. Okay, good Now, the better story
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: is yet again in the losing locker room.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: So that is where we will start our conversation together.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And as we discuss the question here, who gets the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: biggest piece of the.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Sour dough of blame for the Warriors? The sour dough
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: of blame?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So I've got State Farm, Latto and Hogwarts, and we
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: going to make some delicious garlic fries. Which think of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: garlic fries, you think of the Northern California That's at
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: least what I think of known for their garlic fries.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: All right, So numb there's plenty sour dough blame to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: go around, plenty plenty. The bakery is working overtime here.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: The Warriors, in fact, they need to get an extra
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: order or two. Okay, they do, So we'll start out
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with Okham's razor. The simplest answer is the most obvious one.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: With Steph Curry out of the lineup, and he's been
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: out other than thirteen minutes he played in Game one,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: he's been out. So the obvious answer here is that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: someone has to rise up. Right, the team unites and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you rise up and next man up, all that stuff,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and so how's that work?
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Watching these playoffs, there's some commercials that play NonStop. It's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: just over and over situation. For example, if you've been
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: watching the NBA games, that State Farm commercial. So I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: actually thought of that State Farm commercial in context of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the Warriors without Steph Kerr, Like, have you seen the commercial?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna say. So, the Warriors needed
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Batman to show up, and they really needed Batman, and
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: right there across Gotham City they needed Batman, and Baitman
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: showed up. Not Batman, Baitman. That's what they got. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: in this case, playoff Jimmy on this night was pedestrian
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Jimmy bag to the bone. Now we're supporters of Jimmy Butler.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: He went wacko in Miami, and he went wacko in
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Minnesota and in Philadelphia and everywhere. Eventually he goes whacko.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: But when he's playing, he's locked in. He's a fun
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: player to watch, and in this particular game, a winnable
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: game at halftime. In fact, Golden said was leading at
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: halftime and he went a wall. He went a wall.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, for some reason, was tentative. He was gun
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: shy on offense. We're predicting that we'll here seven.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: He's heard, he's heard.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, you played the game, passed up shots, did
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: not even try to take some shots that were there.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: He was completely rattled. We don't know why the Warriors
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: while Jimmy Butler playoff Jimmy was on the court, were
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: outscored by thirty points. Who goofed? I've got to know
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: thirty points? He only took nine shots. Now he moves
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: up right the way the pecking order works with Steph
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Curry out, you went out and got Jimmy Butler and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: he's the guy, except he wasn't the guy and you
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: only took n jet. Now others to blame and shame
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: because we like to blame. In Shaman Talk Radio, Brandon Pajemski,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: as we mentioned the worst shooting performance we've seen in
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: over a decade in the NBA playoffs, or somebody taking
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the volume shots that he's taken and pods.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: It's even worse the last two games.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: The last two games, this cat is shooting sixteen point
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: six per sent from the floor. He's taking twenty four shots,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he's only made four of them, four of twenty four,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and from three point range he's shooting twelve point five
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: percent the last two games. PEEO, what stinks? I think
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: we know who stinks? My God, all right now, pitch two.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So something goes wrong for Golden State, while on the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: other side, what went right for Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: In this particular game. So ant man what he did?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: He found the button on the dashboard and he went
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: turbo time in the third quarter, clear.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: The runway for takeoff. We were about to depart, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: he did.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: He's very choppy player being a good player, it seems
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: very choppy. I think that's an accurate way to describe him,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that the numbers usually are pretty good, but there's some choppiness,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: there's not smoothness to his game. But on this particular night,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: in that third quarter, he cranked up the Latto song.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: He had that big energy, right, big capital D energy there,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and we know he loves to talk about.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: His big D man.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards sixteen of his thirty points in the third quarter,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and that was the kill shot. That was the stranglehold
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: quarter for Golden State to go down. They fell into
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a sinkhole. Minnesota was plus twenty two, plus twenty two
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter, body blow, body blow, body blow,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: one after another, led by twenty and then they just
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: kept the Warriors at Bay at arms length the rest
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of the game, just kept them at arm's length there.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So Golden State now they're in position to be a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: classic INFO mercial, the Golden State Warriors.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I've fallen and I can't get up.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: They can't get up right now lethargic, listless, spiritless basketball
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and as normally happens, do not expect any calls from
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the Bay area there. That's usually what happens when it's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: called front running. That's what it's called. All right, now,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: final point, So, how can Golden State get back in
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: this series? With Minnesota down three to one? We know
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the math on this is not particularly great. There's only
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: been thirteen teams that have come back and here they are.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: So they need to visit Hogwarts. I've determined they need
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to go to Hogwarts, that they have to get the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: potion from Harry Potter and Hogwarts there and things have
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: gotten out of hand, things have fallen by the wayside.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: There they are in a ditch by the side of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the road. And whatever potion they can find from the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter franchise, the health potion, they need to give
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: A gallon of it and just have him drink that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And instead of Boom goes to Dynamite, it'll be Boom
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: goes to the Warriors and they win one game and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you get a little tight
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: tooka syndrome for Minnesota and things change.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: And by the way, what has Steve Kirk done?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I keep asking that question when I watched the Warriors
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: without without Steph Currer.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Fat that's here from Steve Kerr.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Here's a Steve kerk out that life is not much
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: fun right now without the star.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Take a listen, the series changed with Steph's injury, so
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: everybody's shots are going to be more difficult. There's just
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: you know, Steph's the guy who breaks the defense down
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: for us and and creates that offensive flow, and I
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: think the end result is that shots are more difficult
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: for every every single guy.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And he's really saying, the way I interpret that, his
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: players suck and he can't coach them up. They can't
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: make shots unless they're open. They're not good. That's that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: what that sounds like to me. Am I interpreting that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the right way, Isn't that what he's saying. It's harder,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and these guys suck. They can't play because if they
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: were good, they still make some of the shots. They're
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: not making them because they blow. That's what Steve Kurrr
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: saying about his players. And he's alway, he's got the
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: excuse all built. Oh well he tried, but we lost
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the series and all that stuff. I haven't seen any adjustment. Again,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not a bit coaching adjustment guy. But you do
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: see teams that have a little more fight than the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Warriors do. And what happened to the Warriors defense. Another
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: thing that Steve Kerr has talked about and celebrated that
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: they're one of the top defensive teams, and what have
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: they done Minnesota? At one point it's Randall, then it's
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a man. They go back and forth, and the second
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: half explosion like a rocket taken off in the third quarter,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards and Randall early in the game, they overwhelmed
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Golden State. They're undersized on defense, and they seem to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: be tired, fatigued. I love that excuse. I have the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: whole playbook of broadcasters in basketball. I was gonna do
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a rant on this. I still might the NBA broadcaster
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the book on broadcasting NBA basketball. What you do is,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: whatever team's trailing, you talk up they're gonna come back. Uh,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: we've seen stranger comebacks from this. What do you think
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: they can come back? And then when it's apparent the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: team that's losing is going to not come back, you
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: talk about how tired they are, how exhausted.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: They are, how strenuous.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: It is, of course, staying at five star hotels, traveling
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: by private plane, bus, police escort, very grueling.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, how do they do it? My god? What heroes.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: All right, is the Ben Mahlor show. You know, why
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: don't we play this right now? I was gonna tease
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: this again, but let's go to the idea. Draymond Green.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green did the cowardly thing. Draymond the other night,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: decided that he could not be bothered to answer questions.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: The guy that's trying to be in the media ran
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and hid like a coward from the media.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Who goofed, yeah, Draymond Green.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So Draymond Green started his post game news conference
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: on Monday night, and he addressed the fact that he
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: ran and hid like a baby after the previous game.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Before I started, I want to apologize. I didn't talk
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: the other day. I was quite a bit frustrated and
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: very careful of I didn't want to get myself fine,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: but more so say something to make it sound like
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: an excuse. We struggle and lose, and I didn't come
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: up here and talk. I felt like a coward when
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: I got home. So I wanted to apologize.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: The offer that all right, well, apology not accepted, but
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you were a coward.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I will agree you were a coward. And that's what
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: we talked about for some time.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: We played some sound the other day of Halliburton, Tyrese Haliburton,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the Pacers, who didn't even seem all that upset by.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: He's like, well, the Pacers center didn't have to talk,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: so I didn't have to talk and I left at
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: all that stuff. At least Raymond Greens like nose he's
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: a coward by running it.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: And you're like, dude, you want to be in the media,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Like that's like the deal you got, you got to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I love these all these guys being exposed in the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: NBA playoffs and of course the NBA media. Most of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: them are boot lickers and toasuckers in the media, and
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: so it's it's fine, it's they're made for each other,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: but it's it is hilarious when a guy like Draymond
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Green first of all, is bold and bodacious with commentary
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and then when things aren't going well, ah, I.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Can't show up.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I'm out, which makes you a show pony. You're a
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: front runner when you do that, Like that's the definition
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: of front runner. You're there when the times are good,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: you're out in front of the camera. You have your makeup, person,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: you have your lighting person, and then when the team
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: loses and you, when you ride the vomit comet, you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: suddenly don't want to talk.
• 32:52

• 33:08
  Speaker 7: The Chargers are set to open the NFL season with
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: a home game in Brazil against the Chiefs. Now they
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: could have picked up to two games to protect or
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: keep in Los Angeles, but the team did not use
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: those protections on any of their AFC West rivals.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Do you think this is a bad move by the Chargers. Yes.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: First of all, I have friends that are part of
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs whatever traveling party, so the only time I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: see him is when they come to play the Chargers.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna be able to see them unless
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I go to Kansas City.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Or go to Vegas or something like that. So they're
• 33:37

  Speaker 7: Texas quarterback or former Texas quarterback? Quin Yours was the
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: last quarterback taken in the NFL draft, all the way
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: in the seventh round. While Yours admitted that he didn't
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: expect to follow that far, he did say that he's
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: got the same opportunity as everyone else.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: Ben.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Do you expect you wish to outplay his draft position?
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But they said that the reason he was drafted so
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: low was because they thought he was essentially a diva
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and he couldn't handle being a backup. So if he
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: proves them wrong, this guy was mister everything in college football.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I remember when he was like the first nil guy
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: going to Ohio State and all that.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I don't expect much. I don't next.
